Picking up Girls With My System

Chapter ?269 Things Will Get Ugly

?269 Things Will Get Ugly

The other party, as well as everyone else present in that restaurant, were shocked! Someone had to have a lot of guts to say that to another Official Mage, even if one was stronger.

Fights between Official Mages could go either way, and the amount of destruction it could cause was unmeasurable!

"What did you say?"

They were so angry after hearing what Arthur said that all of them wanted to attack him right there in that restaurant, but did not, as that would be a dumb move.

"What did I say? Well, it makes sense. Animals can't understand our language. Look, just go back to your room where you spend the night sucking the cock of that mage from the bird head academy, and stop bothering me."

It was the end of the line. The man tried to stay cool after hearing the insults coming from Arthur, as he already expected them, but that was something even he could not listen to quietly.

The man waved his hand, ready to cast a spell right in front of Arthur, but then an old man appeared out of nowhere, grabbing the man's hand.

When the old man stepped inside the room, everyone hold their breaths, as the aura of the old man was too much for most of them to handle.

That person was the rank 2 mage responsible for the hotel, as well as responsible for the city.

"Young man, what were you trying to do?"

"I-did you hear what he told me? Isn't that a motive?"

"I heard yes, but I also heard you were the first to pick up a fight, joking about the man's inability. If I were you, I wouldn't mess up with this youth. He only has one arm, but I am sure that even if he did not have any, he would still kick your ass. Now, please shut up or leave my restaurant."

Not a single person muttered a word after that, and even the man who would have attacked Arthur had given up after seeing the old man. It was not a figure he could go against, especially inside its property.

He would only lose his face by staying inside the restaurant, so he called out the boys who came with him to stir a fight with Arthur, and then left the restaurant.

"Are you all right, young man? I am sorry for the inconvenient."

"I am, yes. Thank you! Also, your hotel is incredible." Arthur said.

The mages who were sitting on the tables already knew the old man, but they found it funny seeing Arthur trying to start up a conversation.

"Is he dumb? Old man Brook only talks with important figures."

"Why would an extraordinary rank 2 mage talk with an armless youth?"

Arthur could not hear their thoughts, but could see the faces of these people had, looking at him as if he was an idiot.

"Did you like it? It makes this old man's heart happy! You are so young and have already achieved this level of power! Who is your teacher, kid? It must be one of these old monsters." Brook said.

Everyone who thought Arthur would be ignored were now bitting their own tongues.

"Would you believe me if I told you I have no teacher?"

"Really? Then you are even better than I expected! Well, I have some things to do for the tournament, which will soon start, so if you excuse me."

"No problem."

"Right, right, I almost forgot. I am Brook. Nice to meet you, kid."

"Arthur, nice to meet you too, Brook."

"Kiddo, take this card. It will allow you to stay in my hotels for free, and you will receive the best treatment."

Brook gave him a black card and then left. It was a VIP card, giving Arthur a free pass to any hotel Brook owned. That was unexpected.

"I did not even know he had over one hotel. Is this man a rich old man?" He thought.

As for the reason Brook gave him a VIP card, well, even Arthur did not know. Perhaps he admired the strength Arthur had at such a young age, or maybe there was another reason behind it. No one knew.

He stored the newly gained card and returned to his eating. Everyone who had seen that interaction now had a different view of Arthur.

"That youth is someone we cannot mess with!"

Not only those who were in the hotel, but Arthur's name spread through the city, and everyone got to know he had a relationship with a rank 2 mage!

Increasing one's power was important, but having connections was as well. It would be way harder for someone to go pick up a fight with Arthur now that he had a rank 2 mage as a friend!

Well, Brook wasn't necessarily a friend, but just the fact they both talked with each other and Arthur had a VIP card. It made others link those two facts and think he is.

He finished eating his dinner and then returned to his room to have a good night's rest.

"Wake up losers!"

Early in the morning, Arthur went and knocked at the door of all his students, making them wake up early, just like promised. Most of them complained before opening up the door, but when they saw the fierce face Arthur had, all of them said sorry.

The hotel had everything a hotel should have, but it did not have a place for them to train in peace. A tournament was coming, so the best place to train was away from their adversaries to not give them any information at all.

Everyone who was taking part in the tournament thought the same, so it was not uncommon to see groups of mages leaving the city to train in the nearby area. On the mountains, forests, or even secluded caves.

Most of these mages would train, and then go back to the hotel at night to rest and enjoy their time there, but Arthur would not do that!

They would start a rigid training camp of ten days. No one would return to the city or the hotel before ten days passed.

Arthur already had the camping gear inside his magical pouch, and he would make sure these students trained until their last drop of energy vanished! That was the only way to achieve victory in such an important event.

"Arthur, where will we train? This is getting far from the city, so it might be difficult for us to return to the hotel." One student said.

"Return to the hotel? Ha, nice joke you have there kiddo. Let's keep moving. Anyone who slows me down will get killed."

"Wait. We will not return to the hotel?"

The fear was stamped on the face of all of them. They weren't that concern about camping in the wild, as everyone had done that before, but the fact they would not return meant the training Arthur had in mind would be ruthless!

All of them had also heard the stories about how Arthur insulted even Official Mages, so what could he do with them? Now every time he said he would beat them to death, all of them believed in it...

"All right, I think this is enough. You can rest for thirty minutes, so take every use, because things will get ugly after that!" Arthur said.
